dark blood

Song of the Sea is nearly 100 years old. Even for a fifth-order mermaid, her lifespan is about to come to an end. She has experienced the most glorious period of the Haisong tribe, and at the same time, she has also watched how the Haisong tribe is declining step by step. , more than [-] years ago, one of the most respected elders of the Haige Tribe passed away before she became the Great Elder.Although most people in the clan are afraid of the Great Elder, it is undeniable that she is a highly respected elder, but she is too harsh and impersonal, so she is an outlier in the mermaid clan.

Even though Shui Lan was the head of the clan, she didn't dare to tell her about herself, and the elders who knew about it were also tight-lipped.Otherwise, according to her temper, knowing that Shuilan's chastity was lost, she might have killed Xiao Yu on the spot, tied Shuilan to His Majesty King Hippo to plead guilty.The reason why the Great Elder knew Xiao Yu was only from some rumors circulating among the clansmen.

In the dispute over the remains of the sub-divine race, Xiao Yu was able to get on the warship because of Shui Lan's relationship. Shui Lan's special care for Xiao Yu on the island is also intriguing. Outstanding young people are naturally attracting the attention of the public, and some rumors are nothing more than normal.The Great Elder must have recognized Xiao Yu as Shui Lan's fanatical suitor, and thought that Shui Lan also had some affection for him.That's why Xiao Yu came to help when they were competing for the Sky-Mending Stone, so when the Haige Tribe was in trouble, Xiao Yu also came to help.

This relationship is absolutely not allowed to continue to develop!

The Great Elder didn't know Xiao Yu's previous strength, but seeing him today, he was indeed very strong, and when he reached the early stage of the fifth level, his vigor was even more shocking.It's just that no matter how good Xiao Yu is, he is a foreign race after all, a mainland race.An unknown alien race and Shui Lan develop into a lover relationship, the consequences are very serious.

Elder Jiao once mentioned this to Xiao Yu.

It's fine if Shui Lan is an ordinary mermaid. The problem is that as the head of the clan, Shui Lan doesn't have much right to make decisions about marriage. Even if she wants to marry, she only has two choices.The first situation is to marry your own tribe and choose a partner in this tribe or other affiliated mermaid tribes, which will not affect the power of the tribe, and will not shake the foundation of the king. According to the tradition and concept of free love of the mermaid tribe, It does have some freedom of choice.The second situation is to marry a foreign race, which is definitely not something that Shui Lan can decide on her own. Even if she wants to marry, she must be a marine nobleman with sufficient status and status. With the consent of all the elders, King Hippo must finally nod.

What is Xiao Yu?

The strength of the fifth level is not weak, it can be regarded as a strong one, but it doesn't mean anything, any powerful tribe on the mainland has a fifth level person.

Is he royal or post-royal?Does he have the backing of a king?

No, nothing!

Xiao Yu is also a land race that has been separated from the sea race since ancient times.

The Second Elder Bai Xiao immediately said: "The Great Elder's words are wrong. Xiao Yu is not an ordinary person. Although he has the strength of only one man, he is not inferior to thousands of troops. He is willing to help, which will be of great benefit to our clan."

The Great Elder snorted: "Oh, really? Your Excellency Xiao Yu, do you think so too?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "I don't think I can beat thousands of troops, but I think that with my talent, I should be able to make a difference in the war and relieve the pressure on the mermaid clan."

"Hehehehe... the young people these days don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and they think they are invincible with a little strength." The elder opened his cloudy old eyes and stared at Xiao Yu, "Do you know how many troops Po Dong Sai has? Is it? **The main battle legions, each with more than one million people, at least 2000 million troops, in addition, some sea clan forces who surrendered to him have also reinforced one after another. In the huge West Sea, only the great King Hippo barely has one Zhan Zhili, why do you share the pressure for our clan?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a faint fire beating in his pupils.

this old woman.

He was clearly looking for faults!

Seeing this, Bai Xiao hurriedly stood up and said, "Elder, no matter what, since you came to help us, you are our allies. If you neglect your allies, who will help us in a war?"

Before the others had time to speak, a voice came from outside the hall: "The patriarch is here!"

All the elders stood up when they heard the words, and Xiao Yu immediately stood up from his seat when he saw everyone standing up.

Shui Lan entered the palace under the escort of a team of fully armed warriors. Shui Lan was wearing a set of silver-white scale armor. The white cloak fluttered with the wind, the long blond hair was tied up, and the stunning face was full of the strength and fortitude that a warrior should have.

Shui Lan's strength is less than the fifth rank. After all, he is the patriarch personally appointed by King Hippo. The more than 50 fifth-rank elders on both sides all bowed their hands and saluted: "Patriarch!"

Shui Lan's eyes fell directly on Xiao Yu who was among them, and couldn't help staying for half a second longer. A trace of excitement and joy flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak. Amidst the sound of armor rubbing, he strode to the main seat with great strides. sat down.

"Elders, please sit down!"

As soon as the patriarch sat down, the elders sat down one after another.

Shui Lan's eyes swept across the crowd, and a warm and moving voice sounded in the lobby: "I am negotiating with the envoy sent by His Majesty, when I heard that the Haige Tribe has a distinguished guest, and the elders will hold a dinner, so I hurried back. I came here before I could take off my armor. In the end, I was still late. Putting on armor to go to the banquet and entering the venue halfway is really detrimental to the etiquette of our clan, and it is really disrespectful to the guests. Please forgive me, elders and distinguished guests."

There was a hint of a smile in Xiao Yu's eyes, and Shui Lan also had the demeanor of a general. Although his strength was not strong, his temperament and demeanor were impeccable.

"The patriarch has spoken too much, and the old man is terrified."

At this time, several mermaid girls brought her wine and tableware, and Shui Lan filled a glass of wine for herself and said: "The Crystal Sea is in danger, and the Haisong Tribe is also in a difficult situation. On behalf of all the mermaids , I would like to thank the human Xiao Yu for coming forward to help at a critical time."

Half of the elders, including Bai Xiao, toasted, but the Great Elder and the other part of the elders were unmoved.

Shui Lan frowned slightly, but did not express any dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yu also pretended not to see it: "The Shuilan patriarch is too polite."

The Great Elder asked lightly: "The patriarch has negotiated with the envoy, what is your majesty's will? Will the Haisong tribe be allowed to participate in the war?"

"Yes, patriarch, can our army come back?"

Shui Lan poured a glass of Yin Hong's fine wine, picked up the glass and drank it down: "Your Majesty agrees with your request. You are allowed to participate in the war independently. The front line is the west, and the defense is the main focus. You cannot take the initiative to attack. It's just that foreign troops have already After finishing the compilation, it is impossible to come back."

"Although the army will not come back, at least there will be the most fundamental and strongest mermaid army!"

"We still have a chance."

"Your Majesty gave us a chance, we must perform well this time, the Haige Tribe really can't afford to lose!"

The elders were discussing.

Shui Lan put down the jade cup, took out an exquisite scroll, held it tightly in her hand, and said calmly: "Also, Your Majesty has given us a mission. After the three legions have been assembled, they will be responsible for the battle on the western front. The army has been fully incorporated into it, led by the tribes of Warsong and Tribute. Our task is to raise combat supplies for the army to be consumed by the army in battle."

"What?" An old elder stood up, very puzzled: "Why should our Haisong tribe be responsible? Since War Song and Tribute Song are the leaders, they should be in charge of them. Our army is fully organized. I have joined other tribes, now we have to take away even the supplies? If we lose the battle, we will lose people, but if we win the battle, all the credit will be theirs, and we will be responsible for the consumption of the battle. How can it be so unreasonable? Patriarch, you Are you sure you heard right?"

Shui Lan patted the table with his hand: "Are you questioning my ability to understand?"

"No, but it's too unreasonable..."

"Then you are questioning the king's will!"

"Don't dare, dare not!" The elder's face turned pale immediately, and he cupped his hands quickly: "This old man made a slip of the tongue, this old man is terrified, terrified!"

The Great Elder frowned and said, "How many people are there in these two armies?"

Shui Lan said: "They are all on the scale of millions."

A full 300 troops!

Consumed by a tribe!

The mermaid population of the Haisong tribe is only a few hundred thousand.

When King Hippo issued this order, not to mention the elders present, Xiao Yu, a foreigner, could have heard it.Xibo wanted to hollow out the foundation of the Seasong Tribe, sacrifice the energy of the Seasong Tribe, and preserve the power of other tribes. Even if the Seasong Tribe lasted until the end of the battle, the qualifications of the subordinate tribes might not be guaranteed.

The will of the king cannot be violated. Hippo asked the Haisong tribe to provide supplies, and the Haisong tribe must do so without any complaints.

Shui Lan said: "No matter what your Majesty's plan is, we must complete the task. We must make the army's military supplies worry-free. Only in this way can we win His Majesty's appreciation. The Haisong tribe has a thousand years of experience and can afford the consumption of a 300 million army. It’s difficult, but it’s not impossible. It’s just that it’s very difficult to hand over a sum of supplies enough for a short-term war within three days. Please discuss it with the elders and think of a solution together.”

"Patriarch, three days is too urgent. I'm afraid it will be delayed if the temporary transfer is delayed. If the delivery cannot be delivered and the army's expedition is hindered and the war is affected, this sinful tribe cannot afford it. If it happens, we can only go to the surrounding tribes for emergency requisition. Their affiliated For the Haisong Tribe, they pay tribute every month, and at this time, they should share the pressure for the Haisong Tribe."

Song of the Ocean is the only tribe among the affiliated tribes that does not have a population of one million, but it has a population of several 10, all of whom are mermaids.In fact, the Haisong tribe is not limited to the mermaids. There are large and small sea tribes around them, all of which are affiliated with the Song of the Sea. The combined population is at least 500 million. Most of the troops of the Haisong tribe are recruited from these tribes. Come on, it was these sea tribe troops who were taken away. The most basic mermaid army was the core of the tribe, so it was naturally preserved intact. If even the mermaids were dismantled, the Haige tribe could basically declare its disintegration.

Shui Lan shook her head and said, "It's hard, they know us too well, so they can't see the current situation of the Haige tribe? Not to mention anything else, the monthly tribute we received last month was less than half of the previous amount. They understand Haige tribe The tribe has declined, and it is difficult to maintain its status, and it may not be repaid if it is borrowed."

The Great Elder also frowned: "The patriarch is right, these alien races living in the Crystal Sea are not so generous."

Bai Xiao murmured, "What can I do?"

When the elders were discussing, Xiao Yu said abruptly: "I have a solution."

The Great Elder disdained to say, "You? What can you do!"

Xiao Yu directly ignored her, stood up and said to Shui Lan, "Clan Chief Shui Lan is actually not difficult to solve the problem of military supplies, I can lend them to you. Today, on the way to Haige Tribe, I robbed all the way of Podong Sai The main force, the harvest is not bad."

"The army that robbed Podong Sai?"

The elders almost stared out their eyes.

Is this kid a lunatic?

What does it mean to rob the main force of the Podong race all the way? !
